Testimonial for Adriana Babler, Ph.D., CD(DONA)

Adriana joined us for the birth of our first child in December of 2013. As first time parents, we were both a little anxious about the delivery. We wanted someone knowledgeable and experienced who could be there with us to help answer questions and provide more information should we need to make fast decisions during the delivery due to unexpected circumstances. I also wanted some additional delivery support from a woman who's been through the process more than few times.

Adriana was absolutely amazing! I had planned a natural childbirth, but after 16 hours of labor, we did run into those unexpected circumstances. She provided such great support, information, and helped us see all the different alternatives and choices available to us.

My labor and delivery wound up being nearly 40 hours and I can't imagine having gone through it without Adriana. Her steady and calm emotional support throughout the process was invaluable. She was also by far the most calming presence in the room during my actual pushing - which was so helpful to me since everyone else seemed to be yelling at me - at least from my perspective! Adriana talked in a calm soothing voice that really helped keep me focused and relaxed, in fact it was the only thing that helped me focus and relax.

In addition to being with us during the delivery, we had a pre and post meeting with her where she spent considerable time answering all our questions. Even more valuable, she gave us so much information about things we never even thought to ask about. She also helped me with breastfeeding issues I was having after the birth.

The birth of child is such a personal and intimate experience, choosing someone to share it with you can be daunting. Adriana is an amazing woman and an incredible doula. It is an honor to recommend her services to anyone considering a doula for their birth.
